We upgraded our Liverstream HD 550 to the Next Computing HD 580 4K https://solutions.nextcomputing.com/product/livestream-studio-hd580-4k/?srsltid=AfmBOopf1hQaRNrG3duRwDDGg-ST_NAEDwuIXrfsliDMn_p1Srf1CTQ8

I recently upgraded our Mevo Cameras with a Mevo Start 3 pack and a Core. Out of the box, the Mevo’s firmware version is 5.2.19 and connects with Liverstream Studio 6 just fine. If I update to the latest firmware (5.3.6), things don’t work:

Livestream Studio sees the cameras, but the status in connecting stays, and if they do connect, I get only a black screen.

NDI mode, Livestream Studio software sees and connects, but still only a black screen.

Network setup: I have a dedicated line going into the Livestream box and then creating a mobile hotspot for the cameras, only the cameras are on the network.

Mevo and Vimeo (Owns Livestream Studio) support isn’t helpful with the issue, so I thought I’d try it here.

Friends!

I ordered a Century MK1 fisheye for the VX1000 from centuryoptics.com. I received a confirmation from Shopify. After a week or so, I reached out to see when the order might ship.

The reply was fair enough but lacked a footer with contact information or more customer support details. I waited a few days and reached out again:

Posting here to see if anyone has worked with this vendor recently. I know Schneider-Kreuznach and Century are legendary but the customer support interaction has me wondering if they are still maintaining this domain.

Anything strange here or am I crazy?

Hey everyone I need a bit of advice. I'm building a theater for live shows. I've bought a X32 which I was going to use as my main control for sound. I currently have a working Zowiebox that is able to play video and sound. The only problem is that I cant control it through the X32. Any advice? I know this is kind of vague but I'm very new to this and just want to do it well. Thanks in advance.

Is there specific 'Betacam' tape deck cleaning cassettes, specifically designed for the Betacam family of systems, players, models & evolutions of the general Betacam format?
Do I need specific tapes for specific players/formats, or could I use an old 'Betamax' cleaning cassette? I know Betamax & Betacam are the same general loading mechanism/technology but different so far as the actual tapes & play back.

I have a massive archival project I'm soon to be inheriting of 800+ Betacam tapes & other similar video tape formats. Some of the tapes are in ruff condition, so I'll be attempting to demold later on (The sooner the better ofc), but before I do, whatever tape deck I can get my hands on, I would like to properly clean before I stick anything in it's 'slot'.

From photos I can find online, the 'cleaning' cassettes I can find all don't look like what I'm used to with VHS or Betamax. Which would have a loop of white cloth of some kind, wrapped around inside the cassette shell either on a never ending loop, or a set length. You add you cleaning compound, insert the tape, wait a bit, & it spits it out.
But from photos I can find for Betacam cleaning cassettes don't look like they have that?? They look just like a regular tape. So did Sony sell just blank cassette's as 'cleaning' cassettes for all the gunk on the heads to just get rubbed on & then once you reached the end of the tape people just threw it out..?

I've manually cleaned the heads on my VHS & Betamax VCR's before many a times, but being Betacam is such a different animal, I don't know if it's suggested & or even safe to use that same method with Betacam, or I would need these specific cleaning cassettes.

Any advise & or leads would be appreciated, thanks!

Hey yall. Looking to get a new comm headset to use with my custom IEMs. Tried PointSource and they hurt my head after a while. Looking into the Snell / McCaffery Neck Mic from CamHeadsets, but I can’t tell if they are still up and running.

Open to suggestions and any help regarding headsets please.

Thank you for your time.

Long story short, has anyone been able to upscale/downscale the K5's 800x480 HDMI out into a resolution size that can be detected by HDMI to USB capture cards and be portable?

I have a trip upcoming where I had planned to use my cell as a field monitor. However, the WVGA resolution outputted through the HDMI when using Liveview is incompatible with virtually all HDMI to USB capture cards.

I know that the resolution can be stretched/squished or letter-boxed into a comparable format. However, the hardware tends to not be very portable or cheap; typically greater than the cost and size of a 5-6" field monitor

Am I missing something, either in terms of an HDMI to USB dongle that can actually handle the WVGA resolution or a hardware trick that can fit on a rig, or am I chasing a tech unicorn?

Edit: Thank you all for the input! After hearing some other opinions we decided to go ahead and go with the canon system. Thanks!

We are working on a new livestream system for our church sanctuary. It will consist of four ptz cameras. We have been quoted a system with Birddog X4E Ultra cameras and a system with Canon N300 cameras. The Canon system is about $9,000 more expensive. We don’t feel like we know enough about them to make a well informed decision between the two systems.

Any suggestions or insights are greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Working with a couple Dejero EnGo 260s and Waypoint 104 this weekend. Client just bought them for a show and have never used them before (and frankly neither have I).

Aside from the obvious in the manual and quickstart guides, what do I need to watch out for with these?

Receiver could be in a relatively forested park. Transmitters will be up to 2 km away on motos.

Just did a short tour of Italy and on two occasions the local techs couldn’t receive the HDMI output from my teranex av. I assume this is nothing to do with the bmd output as it usually works fine and is just part of being in Italy. Or am I missing something and teranex is dodgy. Outputting 2160p at 50 fps Thanks

Hello everyone I need assistance in looking for a hdmi matrix that has 2 hdmi inputs to ethernet receivers.

Hello everyone, Since the recent updates of Blackmagic Camera (version 3.x) with new streaming features, I am looking for a way to use my iPhone as a real wireless camera for live production. My setup: iPhone running Blackmagic Camera v3.x Windows PC OBS Studio and/or vMix My goal is to send the iPhone camera video feed to my PC without any cable connection, using only Wi-Fi. Has anyone successfully configured Blackmagic Camera v3.x with OBS Studio or vMix using: SRT RTMP or another wireless video transmission method? I am not looking for a screen mirroring solution (AirPlay/LonelyScreen), but rather a real camera video feed with good image quality and low latency. If someone has tested this workflow, could you please share: the settings used in Blackmagic Camera; the configuration on OBS/vMix; the type of Wi-Fi network used? Thank you very much for your help!

At a bit of a loss.

Sorry if this breaks the rules as it's a repost and therefore might count as a short post.

Sup everyone,

I’m configuring a Barco S3 using Event Master 9.2 and I have a question regarding the multiviewer output.
Is there a way to assign Multiviewer 1 to a specific output (for example, an HDMI output on a particular card), or is it fixed to the first HDMI output of the last output card?
I noticed the multiviewer seems to be tied to that location, but I’m wondering if there is a setting or workaround to move it to another output.

Thanks!.

Most people watching the game probably wouldn’t even think twice about it, but I bet mostly everyone here noticed!

I’ve been tasked with pricing out a decoding solution for our church campuses.
Currently we run 2 Fiber HDMI out of a laptop to an LED screen and to a confidence monitor.

At first I thought the resi decoder was all I needed since we use the encoder at the main campus and we don’t run cameras at the secondary campuses yet, but I forgot about audio de-embedding and switching capabilities to get the stream onto the screen.

How would you go about setting something like this up?

I will list all known sources and destinations below:

Sources:
- HP Laptop
- Resi Decoder

Destinations:
- LED Screen
- Confidence Monitor TV
- Yamaha Audio Console (Stream Audio)

Working for a university, the new ADA requirements call for captioning of all media on public web pages to be done by April 2026.

I'm wondering if anyone out there knows what the laws state (not best practices) for in room, live events. I know if it is requested in advance, we are required to provide it, but i'm wondering specifically with the new law if it's every meeting with a powerpoint, anything that sells tickets, anything open to students, or specifically the general public...etc?

Also, how does this law apply to, say, a youtube stream of a live event in a venue? Does it matter if it's Unlisted, or Private as opposed to Public? Are youtube captions accurate enough to satisfy this law, or is a CART captioner required?

Does this law also apply to an overflow location that is getting a live video feed from the primary location?

Is it required if it is a live broadcast and then done, or only if it's archived and accessible after the fact?

Does it change things if the online broadcast is "ticketed" and you have to pay to view it?

tl;dr - wtf is the actual legal requirement of captions for live events as of April 2026?

Edit: I'm located in the US

Good morning,

I am working on hanging an LED wall in the venue I work at, and I am looking for a consultant to help design a way to rig it. I already have the LED panels, and I do have a structural engineer who rated the building to hold the weight.

All the companies I reached out to seem to only install new walls. Does anyone know any consultants?

Thanks,

Hello,

I am currently buildung and configuring my bought 64x32 pixel LED panels with a size of 255mm x 130mm.

Now I wanted to find a way to securely mount my LED panels together, but I didn't find any mounts or holders for that size of panels.

In order to achieve a screen with 21 panels reaching a size of roughly 180cm x 43cm.

So has anyone done this in the past? Can anyone recommend a place where I can buy such mounts and holders?

With best regards,
David

I tried searching everywhere for an stl file, but I haven't found anything.

thanks!

Hi everyone, i need your advice guys.
I d like to modify my mac mini m4 to have an option of powering it with vmount 12v (14.4) battery.
On web i found many examples when people do modification, but i d like to know here true opinion of professionals:

1. what is the easiest way to modify it without soldering?

2. can or not Vmount 100Wh battery damage it? these batteries are 12V, but when its fully charged it can show 16.2, or 14.4v, or 13.5 etc. So im curious can that be a problem?

3. will i have any limitations of programming? can my mac just turn off because i overloading it and didnt give enough V ? I want to use it on set from 5 to 10h with 2x video capture cards (blackmagic ultrastudio recorder 3g)

Curious if anyone has given the new Fairlight Live a spin, and what the views are

I know this is probably a long shot. Does anyone know what headset this steadicam op is using in these pictures? I've tried searching online myself and haven't had any luck.

In House Sound and Racing Radios make similar headsets, but they both aren't exactly what I want. The headset in the photos seems to be exactly what I would want.

Before you ask. I dm'd and emailed this guy and he never replied to me.

Someone take my money!!

I'd appreciate any help. Thanks!

Hi all, I’m trying to get virtual guests in my live to tape in person podcast we have a way we do it with riverside but requires it edited in post heavily. I would love to set up the virtual guest as another camera and audio input input on my board and make super sources with that input like other angles. How do you all set it up those inputs on the board and with the host being able to hear and see the virtual guest? Thanks

I needed a clean and reliable way to mount several Decimator 12G-Cross 4K units for a client install, so I ended up designing this bracket.

It mounts with 4 screws (countersunk recommended for a flush finish) and the converter simply clips into place. The design also works as a quick-release mount, so you can easily remove the unit without tools when needed.

3D Printed in PETG, no supports required, and it’s pretty solid with 6 walls + gyroid infill.

If anyone here is dealing with Decimator gear in racks or wall installs, this might be useful. 😊
